Hope To Accept 1 - 5 Refugees;
Expanded Chorus, Orchestra,
IRC, Students To Sponsor 1
Soloists To Present Messiah
According to D r . Irwin J. Lubbers, H o p e College recently notified
the Stale Department that our school would be willing to accept f r o m
one to five refugee students f r o m war-torn H u n g a r y . T h e reply was
m a d e in response to a State Department inquiry as to scholarship
programs, part-time work, and other opportunities available here.
I he twenty-seventh a n n u a l H o p e College presentation of Georg
1* rederick Handel's moving oratorio. Messiah, will take place 8 : 0 0
Tuesday evening, December 11. in the Memorial Chapel. F e a t u r e d in
soloist roles this year will be four p e r f o r m e r s f r o m the Midwest,
who will combine with the tradtional Messiah C h o r u s in singing the
two-hour work.
Conducting the performance will
be Dr. Robert Cavanaugh, head of
the music department, and traditional conductor f o r this event. Dr.
SaFP§
Cavanaugh stressed the fact t h a t
this year's chorus, composed of the
N d u
•®ear
Chapel Choir, Chancel Choir, and
other interested students and faculty members, is the largest in many
years.
In making the school's reply,
Lubbers noted t h a t the first of
these students would be able to
attend under the auspices of a
program recently inaugurated by
the International Relations Club in
cooperation with the student council. While full plans have not as
yet been completed, IRC adviser
Dr. Paul Fried stated t h a t the club
hopes to have the project in operation during the second semester of
this school year.

will act as secretary and Donald
Van Lare, Holland senior, is the
t r e a s u r e r f o r the group.
Council, College Pledge Support
Student council president David
Van Eenenaam was present a t the
meeting, and assured the g r o u p
that the m a t t e r would be on the
agenda of the student council meeting held last Tuesday. At this
writing, the council had not had
time to take formal action, but
Van Eenenaam told the Anchor
that council members were vitally
interested in the project, and t h a t
he expected full support. Dr. Lubbers and Dean of the college Dr.
William VanderLugt have also expressed their enthuasism f o r the
project, and have pledged administrative cooperation.
Residents of Durfee and Van
Vleck Halls have already thrown
their support behind the project
by voting to contribute to the
project the money ordinarily used
to exchange g i f t s within the dormitory, and at the Christmas Vespers
held last Sunday afternoon, opportunity was provided f o r interested
townspeople to contribute their
support to the project. Students
are now being asked to contribute
through an agent in their residence
hall. Students not living at the
dorms are asked to contribute
through Miss J a n e t Mulder in the
Alumni Office, VR-104.
Support for other Hungarian
students would probably come f r o m
Reformed Church Hungarian congregations in this country, said
Lubbers. He stressed administrative hopes t h a t such support will
be enough so t h a t the students'
tuition, room, and board may be
paid in full. "In this way, r e f u g e e
students could use their part-time
work earnings f o r s p e n d i n g
money," said Lubbers.
On Saturday, December 15th,
the Junior Class sponsored a
party at the Civic Center following the basketball game. The
"Coeds", a group of Junior girls,
provided entertainment by singing "Christmas Song" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
Refreshments were served and
the "Collegians" rendered dance
music. The proceeds of the
lunchion were donated to the
project of bringing a Hungarian
Student to Hope College.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree
from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should he taxed. (And this
taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor oj Syria).
And
all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also
went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto
the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was oj the
house and lineage of David:) to be taxed Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she
brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for
them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And,
lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel
said unto them. Fear not; for, behold, I bring you great tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this
shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manager. And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 6iGlory to
God in the highest and on earth peace, and good will to men." And
it came pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said to one lo another, "I^et us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known unto us." And they came with haste, and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they
had seen it, they made known abroad the saying ivhich was told them
concerning the child.
—Luke 2:1-17
Anchor Policy
JTc believe that a college newspaper should be three things: an
objective reporter of the news, a stimulator of student thought, and a
means for the expression of student and faculty opinion on controversial
subjects. To the latter end, we invite letters to the editor, which we will
print if the letter does not violate good taste and if space permits.
Needless to say, the thoughts expressed in such letters can reflect only
the views of the author, and cannot be supposed to be representative of
the opinions of either the staff of the Anchor or the student body as a
whole. Signed editorials may be considered expressions of staff opinion,
and we invite disagreement with them. We are not trying to force our
opinions on anyone. As we see it, our one editorial mission is to cause
our readers to think about what we say.
"Unto One Of The Least"
The interpretations placed upon the recent events in Hungary by
the United States and the Soviet Union bring into sharp focus the
basic difference in their philosophies of the nature of the human soul.
Russia, choosing to disregard the deeper implications of the Hungarian revolt, merely clamped its Iron Curtain down tighter on the
people of that distraught land, and turned a deaf ear to the outraged
cries of the free world. The United States, Canada, and other nations
of the West, have opened their doors to those Hungarians who were
able to escape Communist tyranny and flee to Austria.
As always, there is a relatively small but disproportionately vocal
minority who claim that the U. S. in particular has "bungled" the job
of resettling the refugees who have come to our land in search of
peace. But the evidence seems to show that we have done more than
open our doors to these people; we have opened also our hearts.
Democracy can never operate at the peak efficiency of a dictatorship,
but the peoples of a free land always seem to make up in warmth of
heart tenfold their lack in precision of operation.
Neighborliness is the Key
Many of the Hungarians have been treated like next-door neighbors, and this is as it should be. A cordial reception and a charitable
disregard of the circumstances of the refugees are living proofs of
the moral superiority of our way of life.
From time to time, American students surprise their critics and
share in dispensing this home-grown Yankee hospitality in a refreshingly un-Ivory-Towerish manner. The chance to do exactly this type
of thing has recently come to Hope College, and the indications are
that our students will not let this challenge pass unheeded.
Student Support Needed
Elsewhere in this issue, you will read of a drive being carried
on to raise support f o r a Hungarian student to attend Hope during
(we hope) the second semester. There are indications t h a t this first,
student-supported refugee is to be followed soon by several other
Hungarians.
The drive was officially commenced by the International Relations
Club, but it is significant t h a t the women of Durfee Hall voted to
donate the money ordinarily used to exchange Christmas presents to
the fund almost before it had been started. Profits from the Alcor
candy sales last Wednesday were also contributed, and non-student
residents of Holland contributed upwards of eighty dollars to the fund
at a special offering received at Christmas Vespers.
"Unto One Of The Least - - - *
And so, in ways typically American, the fund grows. In a feature
story in this issue, we learn t h a t our school's feelings for Hungarian
students extend into the past. Students of the present generation now
have the opportunity to extend this brotherhood into the f u t u r e . Let
us remember in this Advent season t h a t He whom we worship was
also a refugee; let us not lightly consider His words, "I was a stranger,
and ye took me in
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these, my brethem, ye have done it unto me."
At this time of the year, in December, people everywhere are
looking forward to "Christmas". The Japanese are also preparing
for it. The season looks as if it will be favorable to the commercial
world which is busy for its own objectives. With mixed and confused
emotions, all the Christians look to this world. There are two ways
to celebrate our Christmas.

1 9 5 7 European Tour Program
(Continued from page 1)
or America will compose the staff
of the Hope College Summer School
in Vienna.
The p r o g r a m of most courses
t a u g h t in Vienna will include field
trips related to the subjects studied.
Thus music students will attend
r e h e a r s a l s or concerts of the works
discussed in class; German Civilization students will be able to
examine architecture and a r t ; those
interested in recent E u r o p e a n history will have opportunities to
g a t h e r information f r o m government officials, military leaders, and
other participants in the events
covered in the course; and lang u a g e students will profit f r o m the
daily necessity of using their newly
acquired vocabulary.
Study Tour:
The Introduction to Europe
On arrival at the port of debarkation in Europe, students will
be met by chartered busses and a
tour conductor provided by the Institute of European Studies in
Vienna, who will assist the Hope
tour conductor and will have made
advance a r r a n g e m e n t s in various
places the group will visit. The
purpose of the study t o u r is to introduce the students to the general
E u r o p e a n setting and to the beauties and problems of the specific
areas visited.
In The Netherlands, Amsterdam,
The Hague, and the old university
city of Leiden will provide the
basis f o r the examination of the
country's rich culture as well as
her present day role in the new
Europe.
A visit to Bruges and the College of Europe, in Belgium, will
give t h e students opportunity to
hear lectures on c u r r e n t problems
as well as to enjoy the unique
charm of a medieval town.
For France, plans include not
only sight-seeing in Paris, but receptions and interviews a t the
headquarters of various European
organizations, e.g. NATO, S H A P E ,
and the OEEC, as well as enough
f r e e time to allow f o r individual
interests.
The t r i p through Germany will
include stops in Cologne and Bonn,
a drive along the mostscenic p a r t s
of the Rhine, visits to N u r e n b e r g
where once Germon E m p e r o r s held
court and where Hitler held his
Nazi P a r t y Rallies, and to Munich,
where students will be able to visit
the studios of Radio F r e e Europe.
The last p a r t of the journey,
through Austria, to Vienna, will
take the group t h r o u g h an area
occupied until very recently by
Soviet troops. Upon arrival in
Vienna students will be given a
brief introductory t o u r of the city
before they are introduced to their
respective Austrian land-1 a d i e s ,
who will provide them with a home
f o r the next six weeks.
Offers Varied Courses
The courses offered include f o u r
German courses: E l e m e n t a r y German, an intensive eighteen-hoursa-week course f o r students having
little or no previous study in the
language, with eight hours credit
given; it will be t a u g h t by native
instructors of the U. of Vienna,
and will emphasize pronunciation,
reading, conversation, g r a m m a r ,
diction, and idiomatic use of the
language.
Intermediate German
will be open to s t u d e n t s who have
completed one year of German or
have passed a proficiency exam.
Native instructors will review
g r a m m a r , supervise reading of
easy modern t e x t s , - a n d help students in the systematic extension
of German vocabulary through conversation and w r i t t e n exercises;
eight hours credit will be given f o r
this course, which meets eighteen
hours weekly.
While the cost of these items
will obviously depend on the personal t a s t e of the student, approximately 250 to 300 dollars should be
adequate in most cases. If students
so desire, a r r a n g e m e n t s can be
made f o r them to travel either
with an Austrian student group or
under the guidance of a faculty
member during the period following the Vienna Suumer Session.
The tuition fee is fifteen dollars
a semester credit.
Other Students May Enroll
Students f r o m other institutions
or other interested persons may
enroll either f o r the entire program or f o r the Vienna Summer
Session only, making their own
arrangements f o r transatlantic
travel and European travel. The
charge f o r room and board in
Vienna during the six weeks session will be $125, to which tuition
and registration fees will be added.
Such students will, however, also
be f r e e to make their own arrangements f o r room and board, in which
case they would merely be required
to pay the prescribed fees.
Application f o r m s are available
a t the office of the Dean of the
College, and is advisable t h a t students who m a y be interested in
this p r o g r a m obtain such f o r m s to
take home f o r discussion with their
parents during the Christmas recess.
Advanced German, an eighteen
hour course giving six credit hours,
under the guidance of native professors, will allow students who
have completed the equivalent of
two years of college German to
read and discuss modern German
prose works and c u r r e n t newspapers, and also seek to improve
the style, elocution, pronunciation,
and vocabulary of the students. A
fourth course, German Conversation, will allow those who have
completed the equivalent of two
years of college German to obtain
two hours of credit in German f o r
participation in the European Tour.
These students will have to give
evidence of intensive use of oral
German while in Vienna, and will
be expected to submit periodic reports, written in German, on subjects related to their observation
in Vienna, or based on interviews
in German.
A fifth course, credit f o r which
may be applied to the D e p a r t m e n t
of German L a n g u a g e and Literature or to the D e p a r t m e n t of E n g lish Language and Literature, is
Masterpieces of German L i t e r a t u r e
in Translation. Under t h e guidance
of a European professor, students
will read and discuss some of the
m a j o r works of E u r o p e a n literature. Where possible, course participants will be given the opportunity to attend stage productions
of dramtic works studied in class.
Three hours credit will be given
f o r this class, which meets five
hours weekly.
There are planned thee other
liberal a r t s courses to be t a u g h t in
English. German .Civilization, also
giving three hours credit f o r five
hours weekly, is a survey of German history and civilization. Knowledge of the language is not required; the abundance of historical
sites in Vienna and the opportunity
to examine on-the-spot examples
of various a r t f o r m s typical of
different phases of German cultural
development will be of g r e a t value
to students. In " E u r o p e Since
lOlS", a study of the social, economic, political, and ideological development of Europe since the end
of the F i r s t World W a r , particular
attention will be given to problems
which students will be able to investigate in t h e course of t h e i r
contact with natives. Credit and
hours a r e the same as f o r the preceding course.
Music L i t e r a t u r e of the Classic
Romantic Period meets three hours
weekly and gives two hours credit.
Special emphasis will be placed on
the history and literature of music
since 1750 and on the works of
Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and
Schubert, all of whom are closely
associated with the Viennese musical tradition. Recordings will be
used, rehearsals and performances
of t h e works studied will be attended by the students, and there
will be visits to the homes of
Viennese composers.
The estimated cost of the prog r a m , subject to change, is $654.
Included in this figure are: Passage
from the U. S. to Europe and return, traveling by student ship; the
two weeks study-tour through the
Netherlands, France, Germany, and
Belgium, room and board during
the trip, rooms in private homes
during the six weeks in Vienna;
and meals at the dining room of
the Institute of European Studies.
Not included a r e : Cost of travel to
and from the student's home to
the point of departure in the U. S.;
cost of travel and maintenance
during the period from the conclusion of the Summer Session in
Vienna and the date and place of
r e t u r n travel to the U. S.; passport and medical fees, tips to boat
stewards, laundry, baths, beverages, and other expenditures of a
strictly personal nature.
Cosmos Support
Hungarian Project
The men of Phi Kappa Alpha,
reflecting particularly upon the
meaning of the word Cosmopolitan,
have decided to center their 1957
Service Project upon the Hung a r i a n Student Fund. Taking adv a n t a g e of the extended shopping
hours of the Christmas season,
f u n d s will be solicited through the
distribution of coffee f r o m stands
in the main shopping a r e a s of
Holland and Grand Rapids. The
proposal received not only the
unanimous consent of the Grand
Rapids City Commission but also
the actual participation of some
of its members. A similar proposal
has been presented in Holland.
Monday, Dec. 17 has been set
f o r t h e first day of the operation
which, if all goes well, will proceed
until the 22nd. The Cosmopolitan
Alumni, along with some other
f r i e n d s of the college, are s h a r i n g
in the supply of coffee and equipment.
Meengs Speach Test Popular Baritone
As the f o u r t h attraction in the
current concert series, the Holland
Civic Music Association will present F r a n k G u a r r e r a , baritone
soloist f o r the Metropolitan Opera
Company, in a p r o g r a m to be presented Monday night, J a n u a r y 7,
at the Civic Center.
Within the past six years, Mr.
Guarrera has become one of the
country's most popular baritones,
and during the c u r r e n t opera season, he has made more a p p e a r ances with the "Met" than any
other of the company's baritones.
A few of his more famous roles
with the Metropolitan include Valentine in Faust, Amonasro in Aida,
and Escamillo in Carmen.
In addition to his appearances
with the new York company, he
has been f e a t u r e d with companies
in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Cincinatti, and New Orleans. One of
the highlights of his career w a s
an appearance with the worldfamous La Scala Opera Company
in Milan, Italy, under the direction
of the equally-famous Arturo Toscanini.
Mr. Guarrera is well-known
throughout the country f o r his concert recitals as well as f o r his
operatic talent. In addition, he has
appeared with orchestras as g u e s t
soloist, and performed on radio
and television.
Recently the William J. Meengs
F r e s h m a n speech contest was held
in Hope Memorial Chapel. On
Wednesday, December 5, at 11:00
a.m., nine freshmen, representing
the various speech classes, presented their orations.

Fraternities Battle It Out In I.M. Basketball
Three Teams in Top Contention J.V.'s
Intramural Basketball swung into action this year with the opening of "B" League on Wednesday,
November 28th, and the opening
of " A " League on Monday, Dec.
3rd. Two exciting rounds in each
league have been completed and
already a definite dog fight for 1st
place in each league is evident.
" A " League's top position is held
down by the top offensive team in
the league (Knicks scoring 105
pts.) and the top defensive team
( P r a t e r s allowing 58 pts.) who are
each supporting a record of 2 wins
and 0 losses. "B" League is a
different story as two completely
different clubs, the Arkies and the
Indies, hold that coveted first position with identical 2 wins — 0 loss
records. Once again the leading
offensive team and leading defensive team is in 1st position (Arkies
scoring 119 pts. and allowing 51
pts.), but the Indies who hold the
other top position have just been
able to eke out their victories, so
remain f a r down the list in offensive scoring and in defensive
ability.
The race at a glance:
" A " League
The P r a t e r s and Knicks, who are
tied for 1st place, have shown
definite scoring ability as they have
gone over the 50 point mark in
three of their total four games.
The Knicks, led by Keith Emerson
who scored 17 points in a 55 to 40
win over the Sem and 20 points in
a 50 to 34 romp over the Arkies,
boast the league's high scorer and
also show a strong floor club with
all around ability. The Praters, on
the other hand, are loaded with
ex-varsity and junior varsity players and can be stamped as the
team to beat. After sneaking by
the Emmies, 22 to 20, on the last
half six point splurge of Bob Saunders, the Praters really poured it
on to gain an impressive 51-38 win
over the Cosmos. John Jeltes and
Jim Hilmert appeared to be the
scoring guns in this game by contributing 18 and 17 points respectively. Both teams look tough, so
watch out!
Cosmos and Seminary:
The Cosmos and Seminary are
tied for 3rd place in that they have
each won one game and lost another. The Cosmos looked like a
powerhouse as they soundly whipped the Arkies 44 to 16 in their
first outing, but were turned into
meek lambs by the rapid firing
Praters coming out on the short
end of a 51 to 38 score. Impressive
in the games played were Dale
Schoon, who scored 18 points in
the win over the Arkies, and John
Klassen, who scored 14 points in
a losing cause to the Praters. The
Seminary appeared as a team in
a fog in their 1st game as the
Knicks outplayed them in every department defeating them 55 to 40.
But the Sem was not to be denied
and the next week they bounced
back for a win over the Emmies
by . a 37 to 30 count.. Dave Hondorp with 9 points was high in
the Knick game and Lou Benes
with 10 points was the high Sem
scorer in their winning effort over
the Emmies.

Basketball Season In Full Swing, Dutch Break Even In Four Games
Red-hot Britons .
Slip By Dutchmen
The Hope College Dutchmen suffered a heartbreaking 73-72 defeat
from a red-hot Albion team on the
latter's court last Wednesday night.
With big Paul Benes and Ray
Ritsema controlling both boards,
the Dutchmen jumped out to an
early lead. Combining their best
defensive show of the season and
some fine out-court shooting by
freshman Warren Vander Hill the
Dutchmen gradually built up their
lead to a 38-27 score at the half.
Only some great shooting by
George Vivilamorr kept Albion
within 11 points of Hope.
The teams traded basket for
basket in the opening minutes of
the second half and then the roof
fell in f r Hope. Albion's full-court
press tightened and with John
Hannett and Vivilamorr leading the
way they quickly turned the tide
of the game. Having caught fire,
it seemed as if nothing could stop
the red-hot Britons, until Ray
Ritsema dunked in three quick
baskets and momentarily broke the
press. With one minute remaining
Vander Hill hit a jump-shot to
give the Dutch a 72-71 ead. The
two teams then traded out-ofbounds violations and with five
seconds left Vivilamorr made his
16th basket of the night to give
the Britons a 73-72 victory.
Benes was the outstanding player
for Hope with 25 points, followed
by Ritsema with 22 and Vander
Hill with 14. Vivilamorr made 15
out of 20 from the floor for 34
points and teammate Hannett connected for 21.

Dutch Outshoot Kuyers and Gantos Alma Scots Invade Hope
Olivet Comets Awarded All-MIAA For Civic Center Tilt
The Hope fans had a most enjoyable evening as the Dutchmen
tripped up Olivet 75-60. Hope
jumped off to a good lead as the
score was 12-3 with 16 minutes
and 34 seconds left to go in the
first half. With all the reserves in,
the score continued to climb giving
Hope a 19 point advantage over
Olivet at half time. The second
half was like the first, with Hope
staying way ahead of the Comets.
Coach Russ DeVette's team was
really looking good as Jun Buursma made 7 out of his first 8
shots to give him 14 points and
a tie for high scorer on the Hope
line-up. Paul Benes and Ray Ritsema had a combination going that
gave Paul 14 points and the "Little
Rits" 13 points. Dave Woodcock
and Jack Kempker also showed
their keen eye by connecting for
6 and 8 points respectively. While
these men weren't scoring, Mert
Vanderlind, "Tiger" Teusink, Jerry
Hendrickson, and Bob Thomson
were busy stealing the ball from
Olivet or setting up some of the
beautiful plays that paid off for
the high scorers. Their ball-handling was exceptionally sharp and
if they continue this aggressive
action through the remainder of
the season they will be able to
stand up to any club in the league.
Coach De Vette was able to play
all members of the squad to give
them experience which should
prove valuable in future games.

Captain Kuyers was named to
the squad for the second time in
his career as he was previously
honored in 1954. Dave was selected
as Hope's most valuable player by
his mates and has been called one
of Hope's greatest backs in history.
He climaxed his four year's of
varsity football by carrying off the
M.I.A.A. rushing title while leading the team to a 4-4 overall
record.
Dick Gantos was named to the
All-MIAA squad for the first time
this year. Dick is recognized as
the finest blocker in the rugged
Hope line and is a real terror
when backing up the line on defense. This was a recognition which
certainly due to Dick for his fine
play. He should head-up the best
line in the M.I.A.A. in 1957.
Hope failed to place anyone on
the second team but senior center
Earl DeWitt and junior captainelect Mert VanderLind and junior
end Paul Wiegerink, received honorable mention.
In Hope's opening cage game of
the season the veteran team of
Earlham College proved that accuracy at the free throw line can
be a very deciding factor in winning by sinking 29 out of 45 free
throws to help win 91-81.
Earlham's offense was slowed
considerably as Hope's Dutchman
were unable to correct the heavy
amount of fouls being called on
themselves. Hope succeeded in
sinking more baskets than Earlham
but the Hutch made only 9 out of
15 free throws.
Paul Benes, Hope's 6'10" center
and the tallest man in the game,
played only about 25 minutes.
Three first half fouls forced Coach
De Vette to pull him out of the
game early. He saw very little
action from there on but was able
to tally 14 points while on the
court.
For the first few minutes of the
game Hope jumped ahead by using
a f a s t offense, but from the 2nd
quarter on the experienced quintet
of Earlham managed to keep the
lead.
Earlham was able to gain a 19
point margin early in the second
half and from then on they were
not seriously threatened by the
Dutchmen. Hope attempted 107
shots in the contest and made 36
field goals while the winners made
31 out of 92 to give both teams
averages of more than 33 per cent.
Jun Buursma, sophomore forward
of the Dutch, led the scoring for
Hope with 20 points while Freshman Ray Ritsema followed with 17.

6'1" George Carter, who scored
414 points and took third in MIAA
scoring last year and 6'5" Ron
Lude, who besides leading the team
in rebounding also had a keen eye
and racked up 342 points will lead
the Scots on offense. At the other
open guard and forward spots will
be 6' Stan Stolz and 6'3" Bob
Postma. 6'4" Jim Ford, who was
named most valuable player for
the 1954-55 season but had trouble
rounding into shape last year, will
be at the center slot. Jim is expected to make this year his finest.
Outstanding in the reserve section
are little 5'8" Bobby York, who
makes up for lack of height with
speed, hustle and determination;
6'4" Bud Ingalsbee, who is at the
center slot, is a real hustler and
has a good shot; 6'2" Jack Acton
is a tremendous rebounder; and
6'4" Dalton Cantrell, a center, is
a rough man to handle on the
boards.
They will be one of the scrapiest
teams Hope will have to play this
season. A scrapy team is one of
the hardest to beat, so if you
want to see one of the fastest moving games of the year, don't miss
this one. The Scots are riding high
a f t e r surprising Calvin and downing the Knights by a 76-71 score.
Hope's Dutchmen have to be flying
high for this one against Alma's
Scots.

Vanquish Hurons
Hope, in their second tilt of the
season, turned in an impressive
win over Eastern Michigan College
by defeating them 54-34.
After two minutes of play
Dwayne "Tiger" Teusink opened
the scoring with two free throws
and then Eastern tied it up with
a basket. Hope scored again and
never once relinquished the lead.
Hope's offense started to click
when veteran Bob Ritsema went
into the game midway in the first
half. Between Paul Benes and Bob
Ritsema Hope had complete control
over the backboards and at the
half Hope led by a 14 point
margin.
The second half saw Hope jump
to a nineteen point lead in the first
five minutes of play. Coach De
Vette of Hope then freely substituted in order that all players
would see action.
Coach De Vette was pleased with
the win and particularly with the
fine rebounding on the part of Paul
Benes and Bob Ritsema and the
accurate out court shooting of
Warren Vander Hill.
Although the shooting percentages were very low for both teams,
the Dutch looked exceptionally fine
on the boards. If Hope can control
the boards as they did in this
game they will be tough to beat
in the future.
